Happy First Day!

Our first day of Kindergarten was a success! 

Students worked hard learning daily routines.  We practiced how to arrive, line up, walk in the halls, and even learned how to use the recess equipment safely.  There was a lot to learn in one day, but we continue to practice these routines daily.  

During ELA, we read The Kissing Hand and made our own kissing hand to keep! We also practiced working at tables and using math manipulatives. 

The students were excited to eat in the cafeteria for the first time.  Some students were able to buy lunch.  We encourage parents to send a lunch the first week or help make a predetermined choice before arriving to school. Please talk to your child about making healthy choices.  This is especially important when students pass the snack options.  First Graders share a lunch time with us and the snacks are available for purchase.  I encourage students to eat their lunches before snacks, but please be aware that snacks are available to purchase for Kindergarten students. If there are any concerns please let me know.  

We finished up our day by looking at books and relaxing on the rug.  The students transitioned well to their dismissal plans.  If there are any changes in dismissal please write a note letting us know the changes.  We will notify the office for you. 

 It was a busy day but the children did great!  I look forward to another fun day. As always, please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions or concerns.  Thanks for all your help and support!
